Question

Dwain accidentally washed off the labels off of his three drugs that he was using to treat cells. One of the drugs inhibited myosin, one of them inhibited kinesin, and one of them inhibited dynein. Dwain picked one of the drugs at random and used it on some of his immune cells that normally secrete antibodies. When he analyzed the cells he saw that the cleavage furrow seemed to be working fine, the Golgi were forming fine, but the ER was not very spread out in the cells and the cells were unable to secrete any antibodies. Which drug had he likely used? the drug that inhibited kinesin the drug that inhibited myosin the drug that inhibited dynein

Explanation / Answer

Ans:

When Dwain analyzed the cells he saw that the clevage furrow seemed to be working fine, the Golgi were working fine , but the ER was not very spread out in the cells and the cells were unable to secrete any antibodies. Drug had he likely used is: the drug that inhibited kinesin.

Explanation:

- Kinesin moves endoplsmic reticulum membranes along microtubules so that the network of ER tubules become stretched throught the cell.

- Kinesin I consist of a heterotetramer of two heavy chains and two light chains.
